    Episode 39: People Will Talk & Made in Milan

    We've got a rare double feature for you this week as we talk about 1951's People Will Talk (starring Cary Grant) and Martin Scorsese's 1990 documentary Made in Milan. It is a curious pairing, but join us as we try and make sense of it, talk about why Cary Grant was born to be in movies, and why you can always rely on Marty to do the absolute most, regardless of the project.

    Episode 38: Life Lessons (New York Stories)

    This week, Sarah and MJ are taking to the streets of New York to discuss one third of the anthology film New York Stories (they discuss the other two shorts as well). Marty contributed a short film called Life Lessons to this project, and it's a doozy. They talk about Marty's use of music, his signature style present in even his short works, and the nature of art, creation, and inspiration.

    Episode 37: Eva

    We're back in companion film territory this week, talking about 1962's Eva, a film that splits your illustrious co-hosts in terms of how they sympathise with the characters. Sarah and MJ get into the film's religious undertones, and some connections to Martin Scorsese's wider body of work.

    Episode 34: The Color of Money

    After our brief detour via The Hustler, this week we're talking about Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money. This movie introduces a young Tom Cruise into the Fast Eddie saga and Paul Newman reprises his role as Eddie Felson. We talk about why this movie works so well as a legacy sequel — plus some other legacy sequels that get it right — and the great tricks Marty and Thelma Schoonmaker employ to make pool exciting to watch. As a little extra note, Let's Party with Marty will be on hiatus until mid-September while we focus our attentions on our sister show, Let's Jaws for a Minute. We'll be back for more Marty madness in a few months time ...

    Episode 33: The Hustler

    In this episode, Sarah and MJ talk about a film that is neither on Scorsese's list of companion films, nor is it a film he directed. However, The Color of Money is a sequel to The Hustler, and your illustrious co-hosts love to yap. So, they decided to do an episode dedicated to the first film in the Fast Eddie Felson saga, The Hustler. They talk about 1 vs. 1 competitions, the ambitious nature of the film, and the hottest person to ever walk the Earth, Paul Newman.
